Reese Witherspoon's paparazzi bust-up

A photographer has been arrested for allegedly assaulting two Disneyland employees while trying to get a picture of the Hollywood actress, who was enjoying a day out at the Californian theme park with friends and family.

Todd Wallace, 44, allegedly became violent when a female member of staff tried to usher Reese's group away from him as he moved in closer to take photos.

Police Sergeant Rick Martinez said: "It did not become an issue until he got close to the group and became aggressive. Several small children with the celebrity in question became frightened of this aggressive paparazzo."

According to Martinez, the shutterbug "pushed the employee with his entire body, not just once but numerous times."

The cameraman has also been accused of assaulting a second member of staff.

Wallace has been charged with misdemeanour assault and battery and is due to appear in court next month.

This is the second time this year that Reese has had a nasty run-in with the paparazzi.

In April, the 'Legally Blonde' star was left fearing for her own safety after being cornered in her car by photographers as she left a gym.

Reese eventually managed to pull away but was immediately pursued by around six vehicles, who according to police, were "driving aggressively and almost cutting her off at times."

The terrifying ordeal didn't stop when she arrived home as one car parked across her gate stopping her from entering the house she shares with husband Ryan Phillippe and her two children, Elizabeth, five, and 18-month-old Deacon.
